Occupational data from Tugby's 2011 census data

When studying the occupational fields of the 1881 census one can see a clear difference between the jobs of men and women. Many of the women's occupations, 59.63% of the overall female population, is unknown, which would suggest that they were unemployed, most likely staying at home. [10] The most common occupation type of employment for women was domestic services, at 16.91% of the female population, likely due to the presence of Keythorpe manor. [10] The men at the time tended to pursue more manual labor jobs, mainly agriculture based, with 61.36% of the total male population working in agriculture. [10]

When looking at 2011 census data one can see that the divide between male and female employment has reduced, with only 4 women in the village not having a specific occupation. [11] The most popular occupation for women to have in the village is human health and social work activities, at around 21.8%, and education at around 20.5% of the overall female population of the village. [11] As for the males the type of work has diversified quite significantly, with a drop in agricultural work, with only 9 men working in this sector, unlike in 1881, when 52 worked in this sector. [12] Although the majority of the male population work in wholesale and retail trade (18.3% of the population), there has been an increase in other occupations. [13]

Health

Overall health in the village is good with the results of the 2011 census data showing that 46.6% of Tugby’s population were in 'very good health'. [14] No one was in very bad health, with only 1.5% of the population in bad health. [14] 87.9% of the population stated that their health did not limit their daily life. [14]

The typical housing types in Tugby and Keythorpe are terraced, flats, semi-detached, and detached. [15] House prices vary in value, some being of low value whilst others are very high.

[1] The St Thomas Beckett parish church was awarded £10,700 by the Heritage Lottery Fund to invest in a project to help protect and conserve its tower. [17] This work is planned take place over two years, hoping to prevent the deterioration of the tower which can be dated to Anglo Saxon and Norman construction. [17]

Keythorpe Hall

Keythorpe Hall and Keythorpe 'Manor' are two completely separate properties a little distance apart.

Keythorpe Hall was relocated stone by stone from an ancient site near Keythorpe Lakes Farm, to a more prominent position sometime in the early 1800s and became the principal seat of the 11th Lord Berners, Henry William Wilson.

Keythorpe 'Manor', now a wedding venue, is in the Parish of East Norton and was originally called Norton Grange. Sometime in the late 1800s / early 1900s it became Keythorpe Grange but was recently renamed when it became a wedding venue. Keythorpe Grange was also owned by members of the Berners Barony, specifically Sir Raymond Robert Tyrwhitt-Wilson, as of 1912. [1] In more recent years it sold in 2011 for £1,837,500. [20]
